Nucharee and her sister are excellent hosts. They are very responsive, helpful and generous throughout our 5 days stay. They can speak excellent English, communication was not a problem. Their house is very clean, very comfortable and quite photogenic. They are very informative on the tourist spots, and also Nucharee showed us around the neighborhood on the first day.
Staying here is an eye opening experience for my wife and me as returnees to Bangkok. The property is situated at a very local residential area away from the tourist spots. The neighborhood does not boast the usual upscale dining, high end complexes or hip bars associated with Bangkok. Best of all the street food is not “modified” to cater for tourists’ taste bud. We can really get to experience how the Thais live and go about with their activities everyday. The property is also conveniently is surrounded by food and sundry stores.
When we do need to travel to the tourist spots, a BTS sky train station is just 7-10 mins walk away. It usually takes longer because route to the station is quite interesting. Photographers may like the walk. The BTS line is accessible direct to a few tourist area, and connected to a lot of other public transportation, hence it’s easy to travel out from the neighborhood.
Staying at Nucharee’s place made us feel like we’re visiting a friend in Thailand. We hope that we’ll be able to go back and meet them again soon.
